It's been a while....

Well hello! 

Welcome back to my little place in blogland. It's been a while! 

Had no PC from like May, Got a new one now tho but been super busy over Christmas. 

So, I'm back to share with you my DT make for Mt Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

The theme is..... Something New

 Now I've gone down the new baby route, only because I wanted to make a car seat. 

They are pretty easy to make. Just follow a template, it's the assembly bit that is a pain! 

Anyways, I hope you can stop by the blog and play along.

Enjoy!

DTBST - Add A Sentiment

Hello Sassy Fans! 

Hope you looking forward to another challenge over at the DTBST blog - Link is HERE 

This week we want you to add a sentiment to your project. 

I went with Cleopatra Portrait :) 

She has been coloured in using Spectrum Noir pens and I've cut out certain layers to 3D her.

The sentiment is part of the set with the image. 

Added black and gold ribbon for a bit of detail. 

Here's a couple more pics of the image: 

Hope you enjoy the challenge!

A super quick post from me today, I have lots to do! 

A new challenge over at Creative Fingers today - Link is HERE

 

Sponsors this week are 

 

The East Wind - Link is HERE 

and 

Elvenstar Art - Link is HERE 

 

I got to use the awesome image Sky by Elvenstar Art - Link is HERE

 

  

I went with quite a gothic looking card for this image which is stunning yet simple at the time. 

The backing paper is out of two different paper pads from Poundland! 

They are lovely! 

Added some silver washi tape with the card candi too. Adds a bit of definition :) 

Have fun with the "anything goes" challenge :)

MTTC - Sketch

Good Morning! 

Another Saturday and time for another challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE

This fortnight's challenge is a sketch! By meeeee..... :) 

Here's what I'm come up with... 

I used a Faery Ink girl on this card ;) 

She has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens in greens and pinks. 

Originally, her hair was going to be green but I changed my mind. I like the pink. 

The "awesome" is wooden wording. 

Added the pearls & ribbon for a finishing touch :) 

 

Hope you enjoy the sketch!

CWWC DT - Julia Spiri

Good Morning! 

Can't you tell it's bank holiday.... yep it's raining!! 

 

We have a brand new challenge over at Crafting When We Can today - Link is HERE 

The challenge  for this fortnight is 

"Add Flowers" 

And we are sponsored by Julia Spiri - Link is HERE 

I was able to use the image Birds & Hair - Link is HERE

I am trying something different with this card. I had to cut a frame down for a lego frame that I've made and the excess just so happens to for an A5 card. So I thought I'd put it to some use :) 

I have left the image light with the hints of purple and green and added the flowers and gems along the edge. 

I like the finished product. I think it's quite qwirky :) 

Enjoy the challenge.. remember to add those flowers! :) 

Creative Fingers DT - Beccy's Place

Good Morning! 

How are you lovely people?! 

A new challenge over at Creative Fingers today - Link is HERE

As always it's Anything Goes and again for this challenge we have Beccy's Place as our sponsor - Link is HERE

They are the most lovely images! 

I got to work with Old Pump - Link is HERE

For a change I decided to colour the image in with pencils. 

I thought this would add a subtleness to the image with the card being CAS. 

After finishing the image, I'm unsure whether I like it! I know I will end up colouring it in again with Promarkers or Spectrum Noir pens! 

Anyways, enjoy the challenge! :) 

Hello! 

Back with you for another new challenge over at  Dare To Be Sassy Thursday - Link is HERE

Our theme is "Tic-Tac-Toe" 

So here is the board. You can use any line as long as it is a line: 

I've gone with - Ribbon or lace / Flowers / Die cut

I wanted to colour this image which is Sugar Skull Portrait - Link is HERE - in pastel colours to show that sugar skull images can be soft and pretty and feminine :) 

I've actually coloured this image in using pencils. No specific make either just pencils. 

I liked how it turned out tho, really soft. I also used two circle die cuts behind the image to add definition :) 

There we have it. 

Enjoy the theme :) 

Crafting When We Can - Birthday

Good Morning! 

Super quick post today. 

We have a brand new challenge over at Crafting When We Can today - Link is HERE 

The challenge  for this fortnight is 

"Birthday" 

I got to use this amazing image which is called Willow - Link is HERE

I did start off with the image being greys, then added a red. I think the red pops. 

I also wanted a CAS layout to show off the image. 

I think the red hair really shouts at you. I've used black glitter card for the background too. 

And look, not a button or piece of twine in sight! ;) 

Thanks for popping by! 

Enjoy the challenge :)

MTTC DT - Girlie

Morning! 

What a horrible wet day! 

Bad day for me today, I have to go and buy a new die cutting machine as my other one broke! 

This is the second one I've had in two years and they've both broken with the same fault :( 

Anyways, on to a new challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

This challenge we want to see "Girlie" - doesn't have to be pink!! 

Although, I've gone with pink only 'cos it was on the order ;) 

I've used a super cute Lili Of The Valley square topper card.

The papers are a digital download from Etsy. I do love a spotty paper! 

Added some glittery washi tape, gems, buttons, bows and "Abby" is die cut along with the "1" on the pram. 

No colouring involved in this creation! 

I hope you all play along with the challenge. 

I'm off to buy a new machine! *insert crying face*

Enjoy! 

SSD Sponsorship - Anything Goes

Good Morning! 

I've a couple of cards to show you today for the Sassy Studio Sponsorship. 

First up is an image I coloured ages ago! I loved her as soon as I seen her. 

And I thought the sentiment was perfect :) 

This is for sponsor of blog A Beautiful Mess - Link is HERE

The papers are a digital download from Etsy, the sentiment is printed from the pc and Catwomen has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens. She has also been completely cut out. Had to get a bit of glitter and ribbon in there ;) 

Next up is a super fun card for Crafting with Friends - Link is HERE

I used Mad Hatter Buttercream Babe, again, I'd had her coloured up for ages. 

I went with a little bit of an outside the lines idea with this. 

I like it tho! LOL 

She's been coloured up using promarkers in mad hatter ish colours. 

The papers matched perfectly I think, then I am biased as I love this card! 

The little wooden wording sets the whole lot off I think :) :) 

Thanks for popping by, we hope you'll enjoy the challenges and inspiration from the DT 

SSD Sponsorships - Star Wars Themed

Hello! 

Here today to show you a couple of Sassy Studio Sponsorships we have for the day.

I've use Princess Leia on my ATC. The papers I had as part of a download set so used them. 

The writing is handwritten in white gel pen with some washi tape and gems added for detail. 

The second card is for Inspiration Destination - Link is HERE

Again I've stuck with the Star Wars theme as this is an "Anything Goes" theme. 

I've used Yoda. But instead of leaving him flat, I've cut him out and layered him up :) :) 

Have fun with the challenges! 

You never know you may win! 

Enjoy :)

MTTC DT - Flowers

Good Morning! 

It's Saturday and I'm off to work.... booooo! 

But before I leave, here's my post for the new Challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

This week we want to see "Flowers" 

This should be your main image :) 

I'm showing you something different today as it's not a card. 

This is a box I made for Mothers Day for a friend at work to give to her daughter from the boys. 

The image is a "sunflower" digi image from Make It Crafty - Link is HERE 

You'll see in the next lot of pics that the sunflowers have been layered. I cut and coloured the specific bits that I wanted to layer and cut them out. I think there's 5 or 6 layers. 

The whole image and quote is in a 23cm by 23cm white IKEA frame.

Lots of big pictures! I had to get the detail in to show you :) 

Thanks for popping by! 

Enjoy the challenge :)
